Project Banjo Traffic Study — Regional Analysis Addendum April 22, 2022 Page 25 • Convert the South Access along 21st Avenue to exit only to help reduce potential internal van conflicts, while also reducing potential conflicts along 21s' Avenue with the adjacent Distribution Alternative, Inc. driveway. • Coordinate with City staff to identify any multimodal (i.e., sidewalk or trail) improvements along Fairview Street or 21s' Avenue adjacent to the site. c. Potential: Main Street / 21st Avenue (South Approach) — add a median along 21st Avenue from Main Street to about 150 feet to the south to restrict the Mobil Gas Station and ADL Auto Repair & Service driveways to right-in/right-out and help reduce conflicts and queues; other potential accommodations, such as an extended right -turn turn lane and additional southbound width to accommodate future lanes could also be considered. d. Potential: On -Street Parking — add "no -parking" signage on 215t Avenue and Fairview Street. e. Long -Term: Main Street / 21st Avenue (North Approach) — continue to monitor operations and queuing as additional development occurs; consider future potential improvements to minimize southbound left -turn queuing impacts such as: • Signal timing adjustments Convert the thru lane to a left -turn lane (to provide dual lefts) and convert the right -turn lane to a shared right/thru lane or add a dedicated right -turn lane • Convert the thru lane to a shared left/thru lane and implement split signal timing f. Long -Term: 211t Avenue (Main Street to Commerce Drive) —upgrade this segment to a 3-lane facility to provide continuity and additional capacity to support remaining development. g. Long -Term: Southbound Left -Turn Lanes along 201" Avenue — coordinate with Anoka County to determine if these turn lanes should be incorporated from a safety perspective. Under a geo-coded/routing condition, where proposed development traffic is routed via 20t" Avenue (as opposed to 21s' Avenue), constructing southbound left -turn lanes along 20t" Avenue at Commerce Drive and/or Fairview Street should be considered, depending on the specific routing desired for the development. 5) The queueing issues at the 21st Avenue / Main Street intersection are expected to continue, regardless of the proposed development traffic rerouting; therefore, the geo-controlling of employees and/or vans of the proposed development is a tool that could be leveraged to help mitigate issues but is not considered a requirement to ensure safe and efficient transportation conditions in the area.
